From the 2004 International Computer Music Conference in Miami:The possibilities offered by electronic composition tools, while liberating, make difficult the dynamic use of organized rhythm in electroacoustic music.  This paper explores a model stemming from interactive electroacoustic work by the author that adopts aspects of the hocketed, disjunct rhythmic textures of funk styles for use as a developmental musical parameter.  These methods for generating rhythm that facilitate transformation in ways more naturally manipulated by computer-based tools are demonstrated in theory and in use by the author.
